I'll go so far as to say that this disproportionately impacts girls (menstruation) and therefore any bathroom restrictions are discriminatory against girls.

It's a policy that cannot stand.

MCPS is willing to have one entire gender suffer just because the cheapest solution is to limit bathroom access when there are MANY OTHER solutions... but they require more personnel and more money.

Wait, can you clearly outline what the solution is? Let's say there are twenty bathrooms in a school. What do we do to make sure those twenty bathrooms are free of vaping, weed, sex, and destruction of property every day in every school? Are we posting a janitor in each one with a baseball bat and hoping nothing untoward happens? [/quote]

In addition to having sufficient personnel on staff, leadership begins at the top of a school system and within each school. In schools where students know expectations and the consequences for certain behaviors, you don't need baseball bats, etc. When kids think they can do as they please without consequences, more than a few will take advantage. Where's the leadership?[/quote]

If something illegal is going on in your school bathroom, then it's a police matter. You should report this. It's their job to address criminal activity regardless of where it happens within the county.[/quote]
